Opening Weekend Forecast!

[Charlotte Rowan]

Okay, we're within the extended forecast period of opening weekend... time to start discussing the weather like good little Minnesotans!!

Good news! At least at this point, it looks like things will cool off in time for opening weekend:

Accuweather says:
Saturday, 8/21: Mostly sunny, high of 76
Sunday, 8/22: An afternoon shower, high of 75

I don't know about you all, but I can deal with an afternoon shower on Sunday if it's not as beastly hot and humid as the last 2-3 weekends!


And for those of us who will be out at site next weekend, it's not looking too bad, especially Sunday for All Cast:
Saturday, 8/14: A possible thunderstorm, high of 84
Sunday, 8/15: Mostly sunny and nice, high of 79

Of course this is all subject to change fifty times between now and then since the weather geeks never know.
But here is to hoping.  I LOVE the forecasts as they are!!!

Dress Press is going to be tropical! But hopefully they are right for All Cast Rehersal and it is nice.

I am hoping it is slightly cooler opening weekend than it has been!  I am not looking forward to wearing my garb in 90 degree heat.     I should have picked lighter weight fabrics!  I was way to caught up in finding the right colors and not in the fabric weight. Oh well!  Here's too a fantastic weekend!  See you all on Thursday and Sunday!  ( Well Sunday anyways)

Wow... I hope Charlottes weather people are the right ones...

My weather page says  opening day 94°F 74°F and the next day not much better... .seriously hope that it is a 7 not a 9 in the front there...

Which one are you looking at?  Intellicast and the NOAA don't have the weather that warm at all.

Can we combine the accuweathers chance of rain with the weather.msn.com temperatures?

Lady Kett, when are you coming to MN?!   *clapping excitedly*  I love out of town visitors!!!

[Lady Kett]

Labor Day weekend, MG. We are really looking forward to it!

[Marietta Graziella]

Damn damn damn!  Everyone is visiting on Labor Day weekend!  Grrr!  I never make Labor Day weekend.  We have long standing camping plans that weekend.  Boo hiss!

Well, I'm sure the rest of the MN folks will make you feel welcome.

In a rare and baffling agreement of disparate computer models, both AccuWeather and The Weather Channel are currently predicting sunny skies and highs around 80 for both days of opening weekend.
